Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 I really don't understand how what Cyborg is saying doesn't seem plausible to you. Is it because you've gone full Gibbers and refuse to believe a young stud might not be a hall of fame level superstar? Huh? The only thing we've disagreed on is the term "monster" and which Seager has a higher ceiling. I don't agree with Cyborg that Kyle Seager moving away from Safeco would significantly raise his wRC+, that's the whole point of the metric. In any case, he won't be moving soon, and I do not concur that his current level of fantasy production constitutes a monster.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Smoak is a terrible example. Those were just the low and high ends of his normal career variance and they also come with platoon sample sizes. He's a career 96 wRC+, right in the middle of those two bookends. Rekt?
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 I also don't agree that Kyle Seager is, quote, "young."
Cyborg Verified Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Underated: Extreme flyball at Safeco, AT&T etc. Extreme groundball at Coors, Miller etc Overrated: Extreme groundball at Safeco, AT&T etc Extreme flyball at Coors, Miller etc
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Rekt? I wouldn't go that far, but it was a very silly example. I mean Smoak had a 112 wRC+ in 2013 playing in Seattle. The fact that he had a s***** year in 2014 and then rebounded to about career norms in Toronto doesn't prove anything about Safeco. Also, Nelson Cruz.
Cyborg Verified Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Corey is the better long term asset because SS, age, and ceiling. But Kyle is better now and will probably be better if Corey moves off SS.

But Kyle is better now and will probably be better if Corey moves off SS. I agree with the bolded part, if by "now" you mean 2016 only. I don't agree that he'll be a better asset by the time Corey moves off SS, since Kyle will be in decline by then. I also maintain that Corey will be the better hitter regardless of position.

My last comment was in reference to you saying multiple .900 OPS seasons from Corey Seager is a likely outcome. Obviously you have your convictions and don't really care to let facts get in the way. You know that Pablo Sandoval's wRC+ projection jumped by like 15 when he signed with Boston, right? His hitting profile fit Boston much better.

They stayed almost the same in 2015 from 2014, actually got worse.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 I feel like z3r0s is loving this debate. Who owns Corey?
tafkasg Verified Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Who owns Corey? Freaking havok, his stable of young studs is alarming.

Sorry, which part of the future did you want me to unveil for you? It's hard to keep track with your awful quoting disability.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Freaking havok, his stable of young studs is alarming. Yeah I just went over all the farms recently and remember thinking to myself what a stable though I forgot the specifics.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Obviously you have your convictions and don't really care to let facts get in the way. Facts according to Boxy: - moving away from Safeco will increase your wRC+ (supported at length with mathematical findings) - Kyle Seager will absolutely be a better hitter than his younger brother (traveled to future and back just to make sure)

Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Is that how I operate? You don't need to take any s*** off somebody whose career DDL W% is 100 points lower than your own.

Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Oh cool, now I'm not allowed to have an opinion when the ******** is leaking from your eyes. I'll just shut up now. You are allowed to have opinions. What's really annoying is when you piggyback on other people's opinions and then declare them fact with absolutely no supporting evidence. Glad you're shutting up now.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Boxy you're too aggressive my good buddy, aren't we all just here to rock? He's been lashing out a lot since you left, he needs a father figure in his life goddammit!
Cyborg Verified Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 .900 OPS? .350/.550 Thats pretty much unattainable for him.
BTS Community Moderator Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 People are really catching feelings ITT.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 .900 OPS? .350/.550 Thats pretty much unattainable for him. So you're already capping him at a .350 OBP? Makes sense considering he just had 12.4% BB rate as a 21 year old rookie. No, more like .375/.525, and again, I said several -- ie peak -- seasons. I didn't say he's going to carry a line like that every season.
Sammy225 Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 People are really catching feelings ITT. Waiver Drafts do that to people
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Boxy you're too aggressive my good buddy, aren't we all just here to rock? Dinger's really poorly supported arguments that are based on nothing more than homerism and his fee-fees have been getting to me. Like seriously, in what world can you strongly believe in Seager having multiple .900 OPS seasons? I don't even believe that for Correa. But I digress. Shouldn't even be saying what I just said because of my DDL win %. I also miss your searing wit and it's making me bitter.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 People are really catching feelings ITT. Cybot is just a Kyle Seager owner who wants to slobber on his underappreciated knob a bit, I get it. This will be hilarious to look back on in about 15 months though when Corey Seager is a megastar and Kyle is still putting along with his annual .330/.450.
